Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005 version) - That game would sell like hotcake if it came out again. All the recent NFS games seriously lack in story and police chases.

Witcher 1 - It might have been hinted that it's in the works!

Prince of Persia - This series is due a remaster. It would be a shame to have it forgotten (get it? The Forgotten Sands? no? ok).

~~It might have been an issue with my set-up. I was trying to use the Jellyfin web version from my computer, which probably was not serving the files correctly. I'll have to test again soon to see whether fixes were made in the last 2 years for it :)~~

Never mind. It's because I was using Firefox, which doesn't support x265 due to licensing issues.

Wait, does the pi4 support 265 now? I meddled around with it a few years ago, and it always had to transcode 265 to 264.

To offload the storage requirements of the instance you're posting in. If everyone starts uploading images directly in the comment, the server HDD/SDD will be overloaded. Consider using a third party service and posting the link from there instead!

Norland was fun! I'm looking forward to the full version.

[–] vandrw@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yup. I'd definitely use this. Do you plan on making a git for your work? Maybe some of us would pitch in to help.

This wasn't really that big of a surprise. The development cycle indicated that it would most likely come out this September. Their page also says it will stop giving a 5-year warranty for FairPhone 4 starting with September.

With that said, I'd give this one a go if it was more secure. However, until Graphene OS doesn't tip their toes into this, I'm not jumping ships yet. Would love to, though! I really like the initiative.

I'd love to move to a Jellyfin server as well. I have everything ready, except a stable internet provider, haha.

Do you happen to integrate Lidarr into this? I am curious how seamless it is to add new songs with just a search.

Yes, on Android. Thanks for this! ~~I initially brushed it off since I didn't see the "Import playlists" feature!~~ EDIT: It actually doesn't handle Spotify imports. I'll have to look around to find something that does that.

Hi! I am interested in getting a new app for playing music. Until now, I've been on the Spotify paid tier, but I hardly use it lately in order to justify keeping the subscription. I still have quite a few playlists that I would not like losing, though.

I've been looking around, and the only app I've found that's very nice is BlackHole. However, after looking at it closer, I realized that it uses some API from India that only returns Indian music when you try to import/search. I had a good laugh on that one, after seeing all my imported playlists full of Bollywood music!

I continued my search, but I can't really find something that allows you to import playlists from various services. SpoTube is nice, but it takes a long time to play songs (sometimes up to 1 minute or more after pressing the play button).

So, my question: What do you guys use to listen to music?

No, haha. They also didn't bother to check what was stolen, so they could have very well gotten 80G of memes.

[–] vandrw@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

I have 12, each with its own name haha. It's usually just a play on their species name though, so it is easier to remember initially :)

I wonder if this is also related to how humans have ruined some old forests' flora and fauna with improper replantation. Not sure where I saw this, but another article was suggesting that the way we have artificially replanted has led to less biodiversity due to every tree growing at the same time (thus limiting light and "food" for other organisms).

Of course, this wouldn't necessarily lead to a global change, but could be one of the pieces thst contribute to it. Even if we set up high-tech and efficient carbon farms, the planet will still struggle to maintain biodiversity...
